MUSEUM HAIKU
Welcome to Poetry Friday. I'm sharing one haiku today. Click over to Diane, Queen of Haiku, at Random Noodling for lots more poetry and inspiration.
This fall we took in the Bernard Langlais retrospective exhibit
at the Colby College Museum of Art in Waterville, Maine. My husband took lots of photos.
Langlais dotted his Maine property with fantastic animals created from any kind of wood he could find. The
animal sculptures delighted me and inspired this haiku.
lions, tigers, bears
a wooden menagerie
barnyard fun - oh my!
I love writing from museum experiences. Though I wouldn’t
exactly call this an ekphrastic haiku! Fun, though.
Langlais’ sculptures are placed throughout Maine on an art trail, and a preserve is being created on his property in Cushing.
